| UniProt functional annotation for Q14416 | |||
| UniProt code: Q14416. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. May mediate suppression of neurotransmission or may be involved in synaptogenesis or synaptic stabilization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18297054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22300836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23129762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7620613}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with TAMALIN (By similarity). Interacts with HTR2A. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18297054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22300836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23129762}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. | |
